INFORMATION & FAQ

Why does my load for disposal need to be tarped?What if I only have dirt, concrete, or items that won’t fly away?In order to maintain our Conditional Use Permit from South Jordan City we are required to enforce ALL loads coming to the landfill are tarped and secured. The State of Utah also has a similar requirement (code here). These requirements / laws are put into place to ensure that flying debris do not cause safety issues on our roadways as well as keep the cities clean from unwanted garbage that can leave uncovered loads.
